Tianwu City - Lou Chenghou Mansion.

"Youer."

In the main courtyard, Xu You, who was about to return to his own courtyard, stiffened involuntarily when he heard the low voice.

"Father."

When he arrived at the hall, Xu You saluted respectfully.

"Father, your health is urgent. Please rest early."

"Don't worry, your mother is already asleep and I won't disturb her."

Lou Chenghou Xu Jun sat quietly on a chair, slowly twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

Xu You was slightly startled, then lowered his head and did not reply.

He knew that the other party was going to rest in the concubine's room tonight.

Xu Jun stopped moving, looked at Xu You and asked, "Youer, did you have fun playing outside today?"

"Happy." Xu You nodded, but did not dare to look directly into Xu Jun's eyes.

"Have you met a girl from the Gu family?"

Xu Jun leaned back on the chair and asked again. Ever since the poetry meeting ended that day, he knew in his heart that his son had begun to miss this girl and that he had fallen in love with her.

He was relatively open-minded about his son's marriage, and his children and grandchildren were free and happy. Even though Xu You was nearly 20 years old, he didn't push it.

Now, the Zhao family has fallen, the King of Song has left Tianwu, and an earthquake has occurred in the court, breaking the original balance.

His Majesty's series of official changes and various arrangements in recent days have made him, a guy who was lucky enough to become a marquis, feel a sense of crisis.

The court is changing every day, so is Daqian, and so is the whole world.

The rolling torrent of history will not wait for these old guys.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade.

It is a pity that the tree they have worked hard to plant for half a lifetime can no longer bring enough blessings to future generations.

His Majesty's future arrangements will definitely create a new group of powerful people.

Without exception, these new powerful people will impact the interests of these old guys.

Conflicts are inevitable, and for themselves and future generations, they naturally have to do everything possible to preserve this three-acre land.

In addition, since his son has reached this age, now that he has someone he likes, he, as a father, will definitely help.

Marriage was part of his plan.

Many things cannot be accomplished by his family alone. The real solution is for both families to work together.

He admires Gu Qing very much. If the two families have the opportunity to become in-laws, it will be a rare and happy event.

"Back to father, we met." Xu You nodded and replied truthfully.

"Well, how's it going? Did you enjoy getting along?"

Xu Jun nodded. If he wanted to marry the Gu family, the biggest obstacle was Gu Ruoyi.

Anyone who is a little familiar with Gu Qing knows that this guy is an out-and-out slave to his daughter. Now that he has his daughter back, he wants to spoil him to the heavens.

If Gu Ruoyi didn't agree, the probability of him trying to convince Gu Qing to agree to the marriage was almost non-existent, no matter how scary the conditions he proposed were, it would be of no avail.

The guarantees I told Xu You before were mostly to motivate him, hoping that he would be braver and build a good relationship with others.

As long as a gap can be opened from Gu Ruoyi's side, the marriage between the two families will definitely come naturally.

However, looking at his son's face just now, he seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't know what happened while he was out today.

"Well, it's quite pleasant." Xu You replied with a professional fake smile.

"What? Do you still have to hide something from your father?"

"Come, sit down and tell me what happened today." Xu Jun spoke in a deep voice and pointed to the chair diagonally to the side.

"Yes, father."

Xu You nodded obediently, walked into the hall and sat in front of Xu Jun.

After a moment, Xu Jun suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you kid, is that why you're unhappy?"

"Make father laugh." Xu You lowered his head. He did not reveal the existence of Shen Tengfeng, blaming everything on his "cowardice". He never dared to talk to others, resulting in no progress in the relationship.

"If you like other girls, you have to take the initiative. Otherwise, are you going to let them guess?"

"If you want to pursue someone, you have to thicken your skin and put away your so-called integrity as scholars. Chasing women is not studying. They are two different things."

"Ruoyi is a well-known and talented woman now. Can your literary talent compare to her? No, you can't compare to her in the fields you are good at. Do you still want her to take another look at you?"

"Tianwu City is very big, but it is not as big as the whole world. There are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Can you guarantee that I will never meet a real talent outside?"

Xu Jun took a sip of the tea on the table and continued: "If you want to attract people's attention if you are not as skilled as others, you can't start from what they are good at. It is a good thing to have common hobbies, but a single hobby does not support you in your future development." Everything that goes on will eventually deteriorate and spoil like this pastry over time.”

After a pause, Xu Jun realized that he had gone a bit far and added: "Young lady like this is still a talented woman. She may have seen more outstanding men than you think. If you want to attract someone, you must be very outstanding, or let her be attracted to you." People feel curious and fresh.”

Generate curiosity and novelty.

Xu Jun's words caused Xu You's brain to shut down for a few seconds.

The reason why Gu Ruoyi treats Shen Tengfeng like that is entirely because of the novelty?

What her father said makes sense. If Gu Ruoyi is so good, even if she lives outside, the environment must be good. The circle she lives in must have allowed her to meet many outstanding peers.

There are more outstanding young people in Tianwu City, and no matter how many you see, they are all the same. On the other hand, Shen Tengfeng's appearance is not bad, and his background is not bad. The most important thing is that the other party's behavior is not as excessive as those of them.

When chatting, Shen Tengfeng can always be funny and make others laugh...

A dignified prince is like a noisy monkey...

Could it be that Gu Ruoyi likes this so-called freshness? !

"Ok?"

Seeing Xu You's eyes dull, Xu Jun couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Young people are indeed still too young.

I remember when he was...

Before Xu Jun could fall into memories, Xu You stood up abruptly, saluted him and said, "My child, please remember your father's teachings!"

"Remember, chasing other girls is not about studying. Just memorize by rote. You have to not only use your heart but also your brain flexibly, and learn more about them."

"Kid, remember this!"

"Okay, it's getting late, so You'er should go to bed early."

Xu Jun stood up with a smile, lifted his belt with his hands and walked out of the hall.

"Yes, father."

After watching Xu Jun leave, Xu You put down his saluting hands.

What my father said was right, but not entirely.

The novelty is only temporary. Over time, Shen Tengfeng will become a noisy monkey.

He will prove it.

Imperial Palace - Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, this is the account book. Please take a look at it."

Zhao Hai held the ledger in both hands and came to Shen Cangtian's side.

"Ah."

Shen Cangtian nodded slightly, took the account book with his big hand and slowly opened it.

After briefly flipping through it, he quickly turned to the last page and laughed, "It's such an unexpected amount, thanks to Lao Liu."

He was satisfied with the huge wealth that chess brought to the national treasury.

"Lao Wu performed well. Wenxuan and Boss also made contributions, and they all deserve rewards!"

"Zhao Hai, should Shouting Pavilion be repaired?" Shen Cangtian suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Just in time, give Wenxuan some of my good tea and wine, and leave the maintenance and repair of Shoutian Pavilion to the Ministry of Works. Let's start tomorrow and finish it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

[Ahem, and, right away. 】
